The overall sound you&#8217;re going for will vary from genre to genre, but the importance of a great sounding vocal is more or less constant! You should probably spend a good deal of time mixing vocals so that they&#8217;re competitive, exciting, and sonically pleasing. The following techniques and considerations will help you make decisions that will lead you to a <a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/creative-techniques-mixing-vocals\/\">mixing better vocals<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen youtube\">\n<div class=\"container-lazyload preview-lazyload container-youtube js-lazyload--not-loaded\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=syudb_B1x_A\" class=\"lazy-load-youtube preview-lazyload preview-youtube\" data-video-title=\"Mixing Vocals to Sit Properly in the Mix - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\" title=\"Play video &quot;Mixing Vocals to Sit Properly in the Mix - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro&quot;\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=syudb_B1x_A<\/a><noscript>Video can&#8217;t be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=syudb_B1x_A\" title=\"Mixing Vocals to Sit Properly in the Mix - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro\">Mixing Vocals to Sit Properly in the Mix &#8211; Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=syudb_B1x_A)<\/a><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4>Start with Compression<\/h4>\n<p>For those who are new to mixing, compression can be a rather mysterious signal processor. On paper, it\u2019s easy enough to understand that a compressor smooths out a performance by bringing peaks down and valleys up. However, it\u2019s sometimes difficult to determine its effects for ears that are unaccustomed to it.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself struggling with<a href=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/mixing-basics-vocal-compression\/\"> vocal compression<\/a>, the following is an excellent starting point to orientate yourself:<\/p>\n<p>Set a <strong>ratio<\/strong> of 4:1; set the <strong>attack<\/strong> time to medium or fast; adjust for a medium <strong>release\u00a0<\/strong>time; and adjust the <strong>threshold<\/strong> for about 4-6 dB of gain reduction.<\/p>\n<p>These rules aren\u2019t hard and fast, so use your judgement and compress to taste! What works for one track may not work for another, and so on, but these guidelines are a wonderful place to start.<\/p>\n<h5>Parallel Compression for Added Excitement\/Aggression<\/h5>\n<p>Another common technique used for more aggressive or exciting vocals is parallel compression. It works by duplicating the desired vocal track and slamming it with a compressor to the point where it\u2019s unpleasant on its own. Then, you gradually mix in the duplicated, slammed channel with the main vocal channel to taste.<\/p>\n<p>You can try it out with any of your favorite compressors, though something that adds a cool character when it distorts is a good place to start.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41562 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2.jpg\" alt=\"Mixing Vocals: Techniques for a More Exciting Performance_2\" width=\"600\" height=\"569\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-80x75.jpg 80w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-285x270.jpg 285w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-237x225.jpg 237w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-179x170.jpg 179w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-320x303.jpg 320w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-158x150.jpg 158w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-40x38.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-20x19.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-160x152.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-569x540.jpg 569w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-17x16.jpg 17w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-445x422.jpg 445w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-15x14.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-359x340.jpg 359w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-11x10.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-316x300.jpg 316w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-9x9.jpg 9w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_2-385x365.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Saturation for Character<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019re all familiar with basic compression and EQ, but how often do you consider saturation when mixing a vocal track?<\/p>\n<p>When we use the term \u201csaturation,\u201d we\u2019re referring to plugins that emulate what analogue equipment used to do to a recording. Saturation adds rich harmonics\/overtones and a bit of distortion to make a vocal \u201cfatter\u201d and more exciting for listeners. It can help push a performance to the front for an \u201cin-your-face\u201d sound. Compressors like the Empirical Labs Distressor actually have options to add 2nd and 3rd order harmonics for a bit of extra saturation. 2-for-1 signal processing!<\/p>\n<p>Experiment with saturation to give a vocal more edge, helping it stand out in a dense mix. Lo-Fi, included with Pro Tools, is just one example of these types of plugins that can enhance an otherwise dry\/dull vocal. Mixing vocals is fun, so have some while you\u2019re at it!<\/p>\n<h4>Time-Based Effects<\/h4>\n<h5>Pre-Delay<\/h5>\n<p>When we use a time-based effect like reverb, we\u2019re trying to create a \u201cspace\u201d for a mix element to live. Oftentimes we add it with the intention of bringing our vocals to the front, when in reality we find we\u2019ve only pushed them further away.<\/p>\n<p>The quick fix? Pre-delay. Many reverb plugins have this parameter, and it functions by separating the dry signal from the wet signal via a user-set delay. The result is hearing the space and dimension that we wanted from our reverb without pushing the dry vocal into the recesses of the mix.<\/p>\n<h5>Automation<\/h5>\n<p>You can also get very creative with delay in a variety of ways. One of the more common techniques is to automate the delay on certain words or phrases. If a particular line bears repeating, have the delay bypassed until you reach the desired lyric and automate it on.<\/p>\n<h5>EQ Reverb\/Delay Returns<\/h5>\n<p>Another thing to remember is to <em>EQ your reverb and delay returns<\/em>. Most of the time, we don\u2019t want our reverbs and delays sharing the exact same frequency space as our dry vocals. If you bandpass your effects return\u2013say between 600 Hz and 4 kHz\u2013your wet\/dry signals won\u2019t be competing for room.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-41563 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"424\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3.jpg 300w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-53x75.jpg 53w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-191x270.jpg 191w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-159x225.jpg 159w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-120x170.jpg 120w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-106x150.jpg 106w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-248x350.jpg 248w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-40x57.jpg 40w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-13x18.jpg 13w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-160x226.jpg 160w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-11x16.jpg 11w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-299x422.jpg 299w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-10x14.jpg 10w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-241x340.jpg 241w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-7x10.jpg 7w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-18x26.jpg 18w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-6x9.jpg 6w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-15x21.jpg 15w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Mixing-Vocals-Techniques-for-a-More-Exciting-Performance_3-20x28.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h4>\n<h4>Mixing Vocals: Don&#8217;t Neglect the Editing Process<\/h4>\n<p>Before you even really dive into mixing vocals, you should be diligent about editing them first! Be sure to remove any extraneous mouth noise, or the heads and tails of takes where the mic is hot before the vocalist performs.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to take care of any loud breaths that might be a distraction. Quite often it&#8217;s a matter of simply isolating the breath and clip gaining it down. You don&#8217;t want to remove it completely, because then the take might have an unnatural &#8220;gap&#8221; in it. Instead, you&#8217;ll just want to lower its volume so it isn&#8217;t so harsh. Especially when you&#8217;ve got lots of compression going, those breaths will be much louder than you&#8217;ll want them.<\/p>\n<p>Vocal tuning is crucial as well. Take the time to closely listen to the performance and determine if\/when\/where a little bit of pitch correction might be of some benefit.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve edited them, mixing vocals can be a fun and creative experience!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since vocals are the first thing listeners tend to hone in on, they need to sound their absolute best.
